Xarelto is sold in the U.S. by Johnson &amp; Johnson and overseas by Bayer. Sales in the U.S. in 2015 were nearly $2 billion. Xarelto is said to be the best seller in a new category of drugs used to break up blood clots.<\/p>\n<p>The claim of deception comes from what was a letter published in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nejm.org\/\">The New England Journal of Medicine<\/a> and written primarily by researchers at Duke University that omitted laboratory data about Xarelto.
